From the first trailer, this movie set some pretty high
expectations and with a cast sporting the likes of Colin Firth, Samuel L.
Jackson and Michael Caine, one could surely see why.

“Kingsman” centers on a secret intelligence organization
devoted to maintaining the world’s peace and security without the bureaucracy
that hinders and tarnishes the priorities of the rest of the world’s security
organizations. A new threat arises and forces the Kingsmen to enact a
recruitment drive to bolster their ranks. This results in the recruitment of
one of the protagonists, the rough around the edges Gary
“Eggsy” Unwin (Taron Egerton) by Harry Hart (Colin Firth), one of Kingsman’s
top agents. But the trick comes about in the form of the billionaire
philanthropist Richmond Valentine (Samuel L. Jackson) and his mysterious plan
to “save the world”.

Based on the comic book “The Secret Service” by Mark Millar
and Dave Gibbons, this is certainly not your traditional comic book movie. But
anyone that has seen any of the previous film adaptations of Mark Millar’s
comics can safely expect a number of things from them; wit, cultural commentary
and ludicrous amounts of violence. And while I haven’t read the comics to be
able to compare it to its source material, this film does not dissappoint when
stacked against its predecessors.

Directed by Matthew Vaughn (Director on “Kick-Ass” and “X-Men:
First Class” and Co-Producer on “Kick-Ass 2”) and co-written by himself and
frequent collaborator Jane Goldsman (Co-Writer on “Kick-Ass” and “X-Men: First
Class”), the film has that secondary production familiarity to it as well as
being another Mark Millar property. However, it’s not just a fun, funny and
raucous romp meant to recapture the fun and absurdity of the classic spy films
of old, there’s also a surprising humanity to it as well, on the sides of both
the protagonists and the antagonists. And couple that with plot twists and
turns galore, it’s sure to be a fun day at the movies for everyone that goes to
see it. (I’ve seen it twice! :D) But
remember that it is R-rated, so don’t expect this to be a comic book movie that
you can take the kids to go see.

And don't forget that Imaginos Plus is available for digital download at DriveThru Comics for just 99 cents!Imaginos Plus is here!!
